The distance a woman is forbidden to travel without a mahram

Question:
What is the distance that the Shari'ah permits a woman to travel alone without a mahram? And how do you reconcile the narrations that specify the distance as three days in one narration, two days in another, and one day in a third? And what is the distance of a day's journey in kilometers?

Answer:
The rule in this matter is that what is called travel; she is not permitted to go out for it except with a mahram. Anything called travel, she is not allowed to travel for it except with a mahram, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): And in a narration: And in a narration: And in some: And in some: And in some: And a barid (post) is half a day.
The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said regarding this: that this varied according to the questions of the questioners. So some questioners would say: If a woman wants to travel a day's journey, is she permitted to go out? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: Do not travel a day's journey. And another questioner would say: A night. And another questioner would say: Three days. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) answered them according to their questions.
It is also possible that he (peace and blessings be upon him) answered with that according to what had been revealed of revelation, then Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) lightened that, so He permitted travel in what is not called travel, and prohibited what is called travel.
So the conclusion is: that the specification may be due to the questions, or it may be that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) prohibited a barid's journey, then prohibited a day and night's journey, then a three-day journey, for a profound wisdom. But understanding this as meaning what is called travel is in accordance with the Shari'ah evidence. Therefore, in the other authentic narrations in the two Sahihs, it was not restricted, but rather he said: and he generalized it, as in the authentic hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) , and this reconciles all the narrations. So anything called travel, and its minimum is half a day, which is a barid, she should not travel for it; because she is exposed to evil, corruption, and betrayal.
So she should not risk traveling without a mahram. And the mahram is her husband, and so on, those who are permanently forbidden to her by lineage, such as her brother and her father, or by breastfeeding, such as her brother by breastfeeding and her uncle by breastfeeding, and the like.
A day and a night is approximately eighty kilometers, approximately seventy-five kilometers. And half a day is approximately forty kilometers. Meaning: a day and a night; because it is twenty-four hours, half of it is twelve hours, approximately forty kilometers.
So she should stay away from what approximates this meaning, which is half a day, meaning: approximately forty kilometers.
As for the ordinary things in the town and the outskirts of the town, it does not require a mahram, if she is with women she trusts, or if she is in a safe place, and a safe village where she fears nothing, then there is no harm in her going out to the outskirts of the town, and the needs of the town, and from house to house, even if it is one, two, three, or four kilometers, all of this does not harm, if safety is available and there is no danger in that, and there is no suspicion. Yes.
